Compilers as Assistants
Evan Czaplicki:
One of Elm’s goals is to change our relationship with compilers. Compilers should be assistants, not adversaries. A compiler should not just detect bugs, it should then help you understand why there is a bug. It should not berate you in a robot voice, it should give you specific hints that help you write better code. Ultimately, a compiler should make programming faster and more fun!
I’ve enjoyed stretching my brain a bit whilst learning Elm. These changes will improve the learning process tremendously.
